This presentation shows how S&P 500 reacts to covid cases in United States
This analysis is only valid for United States.
S&P 500 Data was collected from finance.yahoo.com
covid data was collected from covidtracking.com/data
positiveIncrease: The daily increase in API field positive, which measures Cases (confirmed plus probable) calculated based on the previous day’s value.
Open: The price at which S&P500 Opened.
On the Y-axis we have S&P500 Pricea and scaled value of PositiveIncrease.
On the X-axis we have dates from Jan 13, 2020 to March 5th, 2021.
P.S: In order to fit the covid data in the graph, the covid data was scaled down by dividing the positiveIncrease by 50.
From the data, we can see a drop in S&P500 only when covid cases first started to rise
Other than that, covid does not seem to have much effect on S&P500.
